Narrative:
Upon takeoff from mco, no heading was given on takeoff so I flew the cleared transition which was colliers (MCOY4.irq) via orl R338 and vqq R170 to vqq VOR. Departure control asked what our heading was and we told him we were tracking the orl 338 degree radial. He asked if we were given a heading or if we were cleared that way. We said we were cleared that way. At that point the controller said 'I'm pretty sure tower gave you a heading.' we asked if he wanted us on a heading at that point. He said to continue flying the departure. A couple of flts in front of us, an airliner and a falcon jet respectively) were given headings of 360 degrees and 005 degrees. We were not given a heading and flew the filed departure.

Title: MD80 FLC IN A NON ADHERENCE TO ATC CLRNC PROC. CLRNC INTERP DISPUTED DURING HDG TRACK POS DEV.
Narrative: UPON TKOF FROM MCO, NO HDG WAS GIVEN ON TKOF SO I FLEW THE CLRED TRANSITION WHICH WAS COLLIERS (MCOY4.IRQ) VIA ORL R338 AND VQQ R170 TO VQQ VOR. DEP CTL ASKED WHAT OUR HDG WAS AND WE TOLD HIM WE WERE TRACKING THE ORL 338 DEG RADIAL. HE ASKED IF WE WERE GIVEN A HDG OR IF WE WERE CLRED THAT WAY. WE SAID WE WERE CLRED THAT WAY. AT THAT POINT THE CTLR SAID 'I'M PRETTY SURE TWR GAVE YOU A HDG.' WE ASKED IF HE WANTED US ON A HDG AT THAT POINT. HE SAID TO CONTINUE FLYING THE DEP. A COUPLE OF FLTS IN FRONT OF US, AN AIRLINER AND A FALCON JET RESPECTIVELY) WERE GIVEN HDGS OF 360 DEGS AND 005 DEGS. WE WERE NOT GIVEN A HDG AND FLEW THE FILED DEP.
